[Bug-gnubg] 16 checkers?!

[Timothy Y. Chow]

I use gnubg on a Linux system, a snapshot from a few months ago.  
Sometimes, when I am in edit mode, dragging checkers around the board by 
holding down the ctrl key, some random checker (usually a blot, but not 
always) will suddenly get transferred to the bar when I release the mouse 
at the destination of the blot that I want to move.  It is extremely 
annoying for checkers that I am not touching in any way to get moved to 
the bar for no apparent reason.  Worse, sometimes the result is that a 
16th checker magically appears from nowhere!!  White (say) now has 16 
checkers and there is apparently no way to delete the extra checker other 
than by resetting to the start-of-game or end-of-game position.

What a bizarre and frustrating bug!!
